Conclusion
Film sends three primary messages
attending higher education at a school without an institute can lead to apostasy (no international institutes until 1970)
those who doubt the church are lazy
Bill never offers one real reason why he is having difficulty with his testimony. If he just attends church and goes to priesthood meetings, he will be fine.
getting married outside an LDS temple leads to heartbreak and potentially even death
get married in the temple, or be prepared to lose your newly wed wife in a horrific car accident on your honeymoon night, have her turn into an undead zombie, and then lose her again to the mists of eternity.
The summer of decision left me questioning my decision to watch this movie.
